What is RFI?
Radio frequency interference (RFI) is the radiation or
conduction of radio frequency energy (or electronic
noise) produced by electrical and electronic devices
at levels that interfere with the operation of adjacent
equipment. Frequency ranges of most concern are
10 kHz to 30 MHz (conducted) and 30 MHz to 1 GHz
(radiated).
What causes RFI?
The most common sources include components
such as switching power supplies, relays, motors and
triacs. These devices are found in a wide variety of
equipment used in industrial, medical, white goods,
and building HVAC equipment.
What are the types of RFI?
An electrical or electronic device emits RFI in two

How can RFI be controlled?

●
The filter suppresses conducted noise leaving the
unit, reducing RFI to acceptable levels. It also helps to
lower the susceptibility of the equipment to incoming
power line noise that can affect its performance.
What is the government’s role in
regulating RFI?
Governments and safety agencies of major industrial
countries, including the United States, Canada, and
the European Union have established noise emission
regulations that are focused on digital and other
electronic equipment. The most important of these
guidelines are FCC CFR 47 (Parts 15 and 18) in
the United States and CISPR 11, 14 and 22 in the
European Union.

ways:
Radiated RFI is emitted directly into the environment
from the equipment itself.
Conducted RFI is released from components and
equipment through the power line cord into the AC
power line network. This conducted RFI can affect
the performance of other devices on the same
network.
Radiated RFI is usually controlled by providing
proper shielding in the enclosure of the equipment.
Conducted RFI can be attenuated to satisfactory
levels by including a power line filter in the system.
FCC CFR 47 (Part 15) regulates the RF

How do RFI power line filters work?
Consisting of a multiple-port network of passive
components arranged as a dual low-pass filter, the RFI
filter attenuates radio frequency energy to acceptable
levels, while permitting the power frequency current
to pass through with little or no attenuation. Their
function, essentially, is to trap noise and to prevent it
from entering or leaving your equipment.

occurs between the line and ground. Symmetric or
differential mode is measured from line to line. See
